We’ll have plenty of analysis later, but for the moment: holy shit.
When you’re in the pockets of the NRA, you can’t say anything about making it harder for religious extremists to get guns.

Welcome to Gawker, Where you are Guilty until proven innocent!
“Smelling like alcohol” and “having watery eyes” should not get your picture all over the Internet as guilty of DUI.
